Jeffersonville sits right across the Ohio River from Louisville, and for years that proximity shaped how families here accessed autism services. Many Clark County parents still drive over the Second Street Bridge or take I-65 South into Kentucky for therapy appointments because the local options have historically been limited to a handful of clinic-based providers.
B Above Services gives Jeffersonville families another path. We deliver evidence-based ABA therapy and autism diagnostic evaluations in your child’s natural environment: at home, at school, and throughout the community. No crossing the river for appointments. No sitting in Louisville traffic on the Kennedy Bridge at 4 PM. Your child builds skills where they actually live and learn.
Jeffersonville is one of the fastest-growing cities in Indiana, up nearly 10% since 2020, now over 54,000 people. The River Ridge Commerce Center brought thousands of jobs and new families to the area, and the population boom has stretched local services thin. The city’s growth means more families needing autism support, but clinic capacity hasn’t kept up.
The ABA clinics that do exist locally, like Hopebridge on Quartermaster Court, Adapt For Life on Peach Blossom Drive, BehaviorWorks on Missouri Avenue, and LittleStar across the county line in Clarksville, all operate on fixed schedules in fixed locations. For families in the newer subdivisions along Veterans Parkway, or out toward Charlestown or Sellersburg, that can mean a 20 to 30 minute drive each way, multiple times a week.
Our Natural Environment approach eliminates all of that. Therapy happens at home during real routines, at school during the moments that matter, or out in the community where your child actually needs to use their skills. The research is clear: skills practiced in natural settings generalize better than skills learned in a therapy room. And because we coach parents during real routines, the strategies keep working when we’re not there.
We support the whole family through every stage of the journey:
Comprehensive evaluations for children and teens, guiding families from assessment to clear next steps without unnecessary delays.
Personalized ABA therapy delivered where your child lives and learns; at home, school, and in the community.
Supportive group sessions that build confidence and connection for children, with guidance and community for parents.
A free partnership with schools & families, offering developmental screenings, training, and trusted support when concerns arise.
If your child’s pediatrician has raised concerns, or if you’ve been noticing signs yourself, the path to a formal evaluation in Clark County can feel confusing. Here’s what you should know:
Greater Clark County Schools is the school district serving Jeffersonville, Clarksville, and surrounding areas. The district can evaluate your child and provide classroom support through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) under Article 7, Indiana’s special education law. But a school evaluation is not a medical diagnosis. It won’t unlock insurance or Medicaid coverage for ABA therapy. You need a formal diagnosis from a licensed physician, psychiatrist, or psychologist for that.
Jeffersonville High School reports that 57% of students are economically disadvantaged, which means a significant number of Clark County families may qualify for Medicaid-covered ABA services. We help every family understand their coverage from day one.
If you’ve already started the process through Clark Memorial, your pediatrician, or Indiana First Steps (for children under 3), we can pick up wherever that path left off.
We bring in-home ABA therapy to families throughout Clark County: from downtown Jeffersonville and the Quartermaster Station area to the River Ridge corridor, Riverside, and the neighborhoods along Veterans Parkway and Charlestown Road. We also serve families in Clarksville, Sellersburg, Charlestown, Henryville, and Borden.

If you’re anywhere in the Jeffersonville or Louisville metro area, reach out. We’ll let you know how we can help.
Indiana’s autism insurance mandate requires most state-regulated health plans to cover ABA therapy for individuals with an autism diagnosis. For families on Medicaid, ABA is covered for children under 21 through the EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment) benefit.
Because Jeffersonville sits in the Louisville metro, some families carry Kentucky-based insurance plans through Louisville employers. Coverage across state lines can be complicated. We help every family navigate their specific benefits, verify coverage, and manage prior authorization from day one so you can focus on your child instead of paperwork.
We start with a warm, welcoming conversation to understand your family’s needs, concerns, and hopes.
Our clinicians take the time to get to know your child’s strengths, needs, and full developmental profile.
We build a care plan tailored to your child’s needs and your family’s goals.
We provide continuous support and monitoring as your child grows toward their milestones.
Jeffersonville has several clinic-based providers, including Hopebridge, Adapt For Life, BehaviorWorks, and LittleStar in Clarksville. We deliver all therapy in your child’s natural environment: at home, at school, or in the community. No commute, no waiting room, and your child builds skills where they actually need them. Most importantly, skills learned in natural settings transfer better to real life than skills practiced in a clinic.
Yes. We have a dedicated New Albany page with information specific to Floyd County families. The two areas share a lot of overlap, so if you’re somewhere between Jeff and New Albany, just reach out and we’ll figure out the best fit.
Coverage across state lines depends on your specific plan. Contact us and our team will verify your benefits and walk you through what’s covered. Many families in the Louisville metro carry plans that cover services in both states.
ABA is covered for children under 21 through the EPSDT benefit on Indiana Medicaid. We handle the prior authorization process so you can focus on your child, not paperwork.
Yes. A school-based IEP provides classroom accommodations, but insurance-covered ABA therapy requires a formal medical diagnosis from a qualified professional. We can help you understand where you are in that process and what’s still needed.
Often, yes. Hospital-system waitlists in the Louisville metro can be months long. Our evaluations are conducted by a licensed psychologist and can typically be scheduled faster. Contact us and we’ll walk you through timing.
We provide ABA therapy and diagnostic evaluations for children and teens. Early intervention is ideal, but we support families at any stage of the journey.
